These manga titles are licensed in over 35 countries and regions, and are loved by many fans all over the globe. And with animated versions, live-action versions and game versions in the making, they are advancing into new spheres and gaining a higher profile throughout the world.

Novels

We have given birth to many hit novels including Jiro Asada's "Poppoya (The Stationmaster)," which was made into a movie, Keigo Higashino's "Byakuyako" which became a million-seller, and "Hebi ni Piasu (Snakes and Earrings)," the brilliant debut work of the 20-year-old Hitomi Kanehara. These books are popular outside of Japan too, being especially widely read in Asia.
